Lost

1 Reply

I long to be broken before my God

Poured out and empty inside

Because when I have lost all of myself

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be humbled by His patient hand

To lose all myself and my pride

Because when I have lost all me selfishness

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

 

I long to be led ever day just by Him

Not by my own selfish pride

Because when I yield up my will to His

His spirt will transform my life

 

He’ll carry me through every trial

He’ll lead me through every hard test

And then, in the end, I will know

He has always done what is best

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

A.S.K.

When I’ve lost my direction
In this crazy old world
I’m reluctant to ask for some help
I think it’s a reflection
That I’m not self-assured
And it makes me feel very inept

But I can’t have this attitude
In my walk with the Lord
When I find I am losing my way
I will have more gratitude
If i look to His word
And find how He tells me to pray

He says first I must ask Him
When I’ve come to stray
Whether knowledge or wisdom I need
And He says that He’ll give
And show me the way
To find the next step in my plea

Next is to seek out
His will for my life
In the situation I’ve fallen in
Then I can figure out
The escape from my strife
And find the path destined to win

Last I must knock
At the door I come to
It shall open to me on its own
The door is unlocked
And it opens to view
The answer that He will make known

Now all that sounds simple
And easy to do
But there’s one trick you need to remember
The asking and seeking
And knocking you do
Must be done ’til you’re led to the answer

He always leads to the answer

He always answers your plea
It’s the waiting and watching that’s hard to do
So ask ’til your heart is set free
And seek ’til you see
And knock “til you reach the door.

Precious are you Lord, precious to me

More precious than silver, or gold or rubies

Dearer to me than anything

Precious are you Lord

 

Holy are you Lord, Holy indeed

Purer than anything this world can bring

Loving and Justin all your decrees

Holy are you Lord

 

So I will shout from the mountaintop

Praise the name of Jesus

I will sing with all I’ve got

Praise the name of Jesus

Worthy of my worship

Worthy of my heart

Praise the name, the precious name of Jesus

 

Merciful are you, my merciful Lord

Your mercy has reached out and pardoned me

From all of my sin and all my disease

Merciful are you Lord

 

Gracious are you Lord, gracious to me

Your grace extended to Calvary

You give more than I deserve unto me

Gracious are you Lord

 

He never stops loving me, never stops healing me

Never stops leading me through this earthly life

Never leaves me lonely, never strays away

He’s always right here by my side

And He has a plan for me, a plan to prosper me

I will trust Him always.  My life in in His hand

Even through the trials, even through the tests

I will rest in Him each day, my peace is His command

 

So I will shout from the mountaintop

Praise the name of Jesus

I will sing with all I’ve got

Praise the name of Jesus

Worthy of my worship

Worthy of my heart

Praise the name, the precious name of Jesus

His Mercy

His mercy is powerful

Reaching down to me

Cleansing all my sin

And setting me free

 

His mercy is majestic

Soaring ‘bove the clouds

Placing all the stars

So they speak aloud

 

His mercy is much higher

Than anything I know

It fills up all of heaven

And all of earth below

 

His mercy is much richer

Than our diamonds or gold

It never runs out

And it never grows old

 

His mercy is purer

Than mountain streams that flow

It never fails to comfort

And His peace it will bestow

 

His mercy is enough today

To meet all of my needs

So I will give my praise to Him

Because He first loved me

How do I love you, Lord?

Let me try and count the ways

There are so many things I thank you for

And I give you all my praise

 

I love you as the creator

You gave us all that we see

You provided a world where we can live

Such a marvelous place to be

 

I love you as my provider

I have no need that you can meet

You watch out for me and care for me

Every day your grace is so sweet

 

I love you for you are my healer

When I’m hurt I can trust in you

I never should doubt or fear the result

For I know you will bring me through

 

I love you for all of the blessings

That flow out to me so many ways

I cannot begin to count all the times

You have touched me day to day

 

I love you for you are my Savior

You shed your blood to set me free

And you rose again to give eternal life

I’m in awe of your great mercy

 

There are so many ways I love you

For all the things that you’ve done

My praise will continue for all of my days

Because my victory you’ve won

 

But above all these things I love you

Just because of who you are

You are Lord of all Lords forever

I am constantly in awe

 

And I will lift my praises

No matter what life brings

Because you are seated in heaven

And are crowned King of all Kings

As I Am

Who knows where the waves take form and start out?

Who knows where they travel, or when they will stop?

Who knows how high or how far they will go?

Only the God I serve

 

Who knows where the clouds have taken their shape?

Of how big they’ll get, or when dissipate?

Who guilds them at morn and paints them at night?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is amazing, He knows everything

From the depths of all nature to what makes birds sing

His wisdom is more than imaginable

And He loves me just as I am.

 

Who placed the stars and calls them by name?

Who has arranged them to show us His grace?

Who knows how for their light will stay bright?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is incredible.  There’s no one like Him

He sits in the on His throne and controls everything

Yet He still takes the time to hear when I pray

And He loves me just as I am.

 

So I will lift up His praise to the sky

I’ll shout from the rooftops as others pass by

My God is the one who can transform your lives

And He loves you just as you are.

Have You Seen the Lord?

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

There was that beggar who asked you for bread

You walked on by, hanging your head

You had the money to spare him a dime

But you did not want to take the time

 

You passed by a lame man trying to walk

Your spirit said help him, but the flesh just balked

You watched as he fell and tried to get up

But you did not want to stay and get stuck

 

Then there’s that girl who asked you the time

She said she was late, but you drove on by

You were going her way with plenty of room

But you were afraid she would do harm to you

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

 

Jesus said even when I do it for them

It is the same as I’d done it for Him

If I’d look in their eyes, I’d see my Lord

As He asks me to help His floundering child

 

When will I learn to reach out in faith

And help those in need when they pass by my way

God showed me His mercy when I was so lost

Now I must reach out and help His dear cause

 

Every day we’d see the Lord if we’d look

Every day we can do what he says in His book

Every day we can show grace to meet needs

Every day we must reach out and believe

 

Have you seen the Lord today?

Looked in His eyes?

Have you walked down His street?

Have you stopped to say Hi?

Magnificent Mercy

I vowed to you Lord that I would obey
And promised to do everything you say
As I go through this life day after day 
But then I slipped and fell

You came to me and lifted me up
You dusted me off and offered your cup
You said start again and never give up
Your forgiven all over again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

I try day by day to be worthy
But I succumb to my frailties 
Gossip or anger or what my eyes see 
Drop me from pure to my knees

But you never speak condemnation 
You offer me your consolation 
And show me your endless compassion
As you take my hand once again

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

You always forgive when I stumble
You always forgive my mistakes
You’re always right there
To show me you care 
And you’ll do whatever it takes

Oh magnificent mercy
Coming from His precious love
Sweep over me like a river
Mercy that’s more than enough

Special to God

I can’t imagine

A world without horses

Or dogs and cats

Or sharks and bass

I can’t imagine

A world without oceans

or rivers and streams

Or ponds and lakes

I can’t imagine

A sky without stars

Or sun and moon

Or clouds

All these things that God created

By His spoken word

For our pleasure

He provided for us before he even created us

Before He formed us from the dust of the earth

Before He breathed into us the breath of life

He formed us with His hands

All other things were spoken into existence

He still holds us in the palm of His hand

And He loves us above all His creation

We are special to God

You are special to God
